Courtyard House: My Long and Hard Body Makes Me Play with All the Women in the Courtyard

The boy tilted his head and smiled: "I am the part of you that you couldn't cry out. I am the memory that was cut off, the dream that was burned, the pain you felt every time you wanted to call 'Mom' but bit your tongue."

He raised his hand, and a holographic image appeared in his palm—

As a child, Su Ting was strapped to a laboratory chair, and the doctor, holding a syringe, coldly said:

"Final test. If she can still shed tears, it means the genetic modification has failed. Execute the elimination procedure."

Chapter 1526 was forcibly stripped away.

The needle tip fell.

Xiao Suting bit his lip hard, blood streaming down his face, but he didn't shed a single tear.

Deep within her mind, a tiny, transparent figure was forcibly extracted, sealed in a glass jar, and labeled:

【S-1000: Emotional Redundancy】

"Then...that's you?" Su Ting's voice trembled.

“Yes.” The boy nodded. “They thought they could get the machine by erasing emotions. But they were wrong. Emotions don’t disappear; they just find a new host. Lin Xiaoyu’s obsession, that young soldier’s resentment before his death, and… that cry you’ve been suppressing in your heart—”

He reached out and pointed to her heart.

"It all flowed to me."

Su Ting stared at him blankly, then suddenly knelt on one knee, her voice so low it was almost inaudible:

"I'm sorry... I left you all alone..."

The boy shook his head and gently hugged her.

"It wasn't you who abandoned me. It was you who raised me with silence."

After a long while, Su Ting raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked at the starlight-like phone screen outside the door.

"What's next?" she asked.

The boy smiled: "Now it's our turn to speak."

He took her hand and led her out of the ruins.

Behind them, Lin Xiaoyu hugged her brother, and Dora carried the terminal. The group followed.

The city's night sky suddenly lit up as thousands of drones formed giant characters that hung in the sky:

We're back.

The global live stream fell silent, followed by a flood of comments:

"Did they see it outside? Is anyone crying for them?"

"Mom... are you there?"

"If no one claims me... can I be the child of that woman in the hospital gown?"

The boy suddenly stopped, turned around to look at the camera, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid. This time, we will find you one by one."

He paused, then gave a childlike smile:

"Just like when my sister found me."

Then, he asked one last question to the millions of viewers in front of the camera:

Would you... like to hear us sing?

As the words fell, the night wind swept through the ruins, brushing against the broken walls and stirring up a cloud of dust. No one answered, but countless cell phone cameras trembled slightly, as if touched by some unseen force.

Su Ting looked at the boy's profile and suddenly felt that the outline was both strange and familiar—like the little girl she saw in the mirror when she was seven years old, who still dared to cry out loud.

"What do you want to sing?" she asked softly.

The boy didn't answer immediately, but instead raised his hand and gently removed the mask from his face that was exactly the same as hers.

What was revealed was a clean, youthful face, with slightly reddened eyes, as if it bore the sorrow of millions, yet miraculously remained unbroken.

"The first song my mother taught me." He closed his eyes, his voice flowing out like a spring:

The stars will cry for us.

The wind will carry away loneliness.

If you forget the way home,

I will light my heartbeat as a lamp…

The moment the first note sounded, all the data cables connected to him snapped, turning into specks of blue light that scattered. His body swayed slightly, but Su Ting caught him.

"Don't force yourself," she whispered.

"No pressure." He smiled and shook his head. "This is the first time... I've sung with my own mouth."

The singing grew clearer, traveling along radio waves, through fiber optics, across oceans and mountains, reaching countless homes. In a hospital ward in a certain city, a girl who had been silent for ten years suddenly opened her eyes; in a shelter in a remote mountain area, a child huddled in a corner slowly stood up and began humming the tune.

Chapter 1527 Awaken Everyone

Global signal strength is soaring.

[Progress of linking with the mother's consciousness: 43%]

[Emotional resonance is spreading...Affecting 76% of live streaming devices worldwide]

Dora stared at the screen, her fingers trembling slightly: "He's...waking everyone up."

Lin Xiaoyu suddenly clutched her chest, tears silently streaming down her face: "This melody... I've heard it before... My mother sang it to me while I was being injected with the drug..."

“So you always remember,” Su Ting said, looking at her, “even when they wanted to erase everything.”

“But I forgot the lyrics…” Lin Xiaoyu choked up, “I only remember… waiting for someone to come back…”

"You've made it." Su Ting grasped her hand. "You've saved them all."

Before the singing stopped, the boy's voice began to change—no longer just a childish voice, but layered upon layered, as if the voices of thousands of children were resonating within him.

More and more fluorescent lights floated in the air, no longer the reflection from a mobile phone screen, but some kind of translucent data particles, swirling around him like fireflies.

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice tore through the sky:

[Warning: Illegal consciousness spread detected! Activate emergency plan – “Scavenger Zeroing” procedure!]

In the distance, dozens of black drones emerged from the clouds, their bodies entirely black and bearing the inscription of the "Silent Core." They formed a fan shape, their bottoms opening to release figures clad in greyish-white combat suits—

They were all "cleaner" agents.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, their eyes were vacant, and they held sonic blades capable of severing nerve signals.

“They’re here.” Dora quickly opened the tactical interface. “These are unawakened ‘scavengers,’ still under central control, with their emotional suppressors intact.”

"Then let them hear this song too." The boy remained standing, neither hiding nor running away.

Su Ting had already drawn the electromagnetic dagger from his waist and stood in front of him: "This time, it's my turn to protect you."

"Sister, aren't you afraid?" the boy asked softly.

“I am scared,” she sneered, her gaze fixed on the approaching enemy. “But I hate it even more when people force my brother to shut up.”

Lin Xiaoyu helped her brother back a few steps and took out a rusty old bell from her bosom—the only keepsake her mother had left her. She shook it vigorously, and the clear sound of the bell surprisingly harmonized with the boy's singing.

“I’ll join them too.” She raised her head. “I want those people to know that crying isn’t a disease, and loving isn’t wrong.”

The first wave of cleaners has already rushed within 100 meters.

The lead agent raised the sonic blade and announced emotionlessly:

"Target confirmed: S-1000. Execute clearance command. Silence is order."

The next second, the blade flashed down!

Su Ting strode forward, her short sword clashing with the sonic blade, producing a piercing shriek. Amidst the flying sparks, she abruptly sidestepped, kicking her opponent in the back of the knee and simultaneously injecting an electromagnetic pulse into his nerve connection.

The man's body stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

“You’ve been eliminated,” Su Ting said with a cold laugh, panting. “Times have changed.”

More cleaners rushed in.

Dora quickly operated the terminal, activating a jamming barrier: "I can hold out for three minutes! Is that enough?"

"Enough." The boy closed his eyes, his voice suddenly rising as he entered the chorus:

Don't lock your dreams in a bottle.

Don't let tears become a sin.

If the world says we shouldn't exist

We'll write it down ourselves—

A new future!

As the last syllable faded, every electronic screen in the entire city—whether connected to the internet or not—lit up simultaneously!
